Awww. I've had a good deal of respect for Swift ever since I learned she turned down a career development contract with Sony at age 15 because they wouldn't guarantee she could sing her own songs. That takes some integrity when you're unknown and trying to make it in the music biz. Nice to see.

Gonna crack my knuckles and jump for joy - I got a clean bill of health from Dr. McCoy.

That $1989.oo 'gift' represents 2/3rds of one semester at a local Community College.

It’s possible I have heard one of her songs - seriously I think I actually heard only one of them - and it was completely forgettable whatever it was. Having said that, I really like this young lady. She’s just neat. I hope she never ends up like so many other young pop stars.

I don't really know who she is, other than she is a celebrity, but I saw a story on the internet somewhere about how she actually wrapped and delivered Christmas gifts to some of her fans. Yeah, it is pretty shrewd PR, but it is still pretty nice and takes effort, so I'll give her credit for it.

Taylor Swift's Gift Giving of 2014

Tim McGraw is still my favorite song she sings.

Taylor Swift, as far as I can tell, is the Real Deal. She's smart, energetic, organized, spiritual, thoughtful, and a hell of a good singer, songwriter, and musician. She's exploring her creative space with interest and integrity.

I like a few of her songs a lot; most are country-pop and kinda forgettable, but a handful are sheer dynamite.

I pray she avoids the pitfalls of the music biz and continues to cut her own path through the woods.

Good on her for doing personal stuff to make her fans happy. I believe it's sincere.

She’s as fake as a $3 bill. The queen of contrived innocence she is.

[FlJoePa]

Good PA girl! Pretty one too.

Taylor is an island of class in a sea of crass. During the Christmas holidays, she came to the home of a fan, brought gifts and spent part of the day with them. She’s a good and kind person.

She's girlfriends with Lena Dunham of late.

IRL.

She seems to me like a really smart business-woman in the making. I told my kids that I respect the fact she’s avoided all the stupidity of people in her industry like Bieber and Miley Cyrus, she knows what decent people want (which will keep her popular) and following this path will literally make her worth $ billions some day
